Mini Mods - Last Poster Avatar

Info

This mod ads last posters' avatars next to their names on Forumdisplay pages. I've just finished a section of one of my bigger mods to come, and thought that some of you may just need this little enhancement on their forums. If so, feel free to download and test it.

Features

Not too many features for now, it's a pretty straight forward mod. I'm always open to your suggestions though.

- Display last poster avatars in threadbits on forumdisplay
- Display last poster avatars in forumbits on forumhome and forumdisplay
- Admin settings to enable display of last poster avatars in certain areas or disable globally
- Set an avatar size to best match the layout
- Choose an alternative avatar display on forumbits
- Zero database queries to keep things running smoothly

Installation

Import [phpdesk.com]-product-lpavatar.xml via AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

hi, with Forumbits my avatars are not resized! it's real size

I have removed the functionality that was reported to be buggy, due to lack of response from the affected users. Until we resolve this issue, you may download a simplified version of the mod.

What version of vB are you using? Are your stylesheets stored as files? I would like to take a look at your form as I can't reproduce this error on my test install, I switched between saving the stylesheets as files and store it in the database, this mod performs just fine in both cases on my end.

Work in 4.1.2?

When I first installed 1.02 the first time I looked at the forums page the avatars where full sized the second load they were resized am thinking that was vbulletin shrinking them down on first pageview... And once the size was auto set all avatars were fine from any computer with no over sized first time loads of the forums...

Only major thing was double avatars with 1.02 on my site... and that was only in the forum view
